Notes
- How To Store: Keep any leftovers stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Enjoy them within 3 days!
- Make-Ahead Directions: Just cook them the day before and then store them in the refrigerator. When you’re ready to enjoy them just toss them back in the crockpot to be reheated!
- If I Use Homemade Meatballs In This Recipe Do I Still Need To Cook Them In The Crockpot For Four hours? No, if you’re using cooked homemade meatballs you do not need to cook them for 4 hours. They won’t need as long to cook since they won’t be starting out frozen. I do not recommend making this recipe with uncooked homemade meatballs.
- Is There A Way To Add More Spice To This Recipe? Definitely! If you’re really looking for a kick of spice you can add more chili sauce! Or you could even add in some chili powder or cayenne pepper.
